TaskaCari

The Problem

Malaysian parents spend 3-6 months searching for reliable childcare. The r/MalaysianPF 'net worth to have kids' post got 125+ comments because childcare costs (RM800-2,500/mo) are the #1 family budget killer. Parents rely on WhatsApp mom groups and Google Maps reviews to find taska/nurseries — no platform shows real availability, fees, teacher ratios, halal meal certification, or allows booking trial days. Unlicensed home nurseries operate under the radar with no safety transparency.

The Solution

TaskaCari is a verified childcare discovery platform. Every taska listed shows: license status (JKM-verified), max capacity vs current enrollment (live availability), teacher-to-child ratio, monthly fees, meal plans (halal cert), parent reviews, and virtual tour booking. Parents filter by location, budget, language medium, and operating hours → book trial day directly. Free for parents; taska pays RM99/mo for listing + inquiry management.

Target Market

350K Malaysian households with children aged 0-6 in urban areas, plus 4,200+ registered taska nationwide

Revenue Model

Taska subscription RM99/mo (profile + inquiry inbox + parent CRM). Featured placement RM199/mo. Parent side always free. Affiliate commission 5% on first-month fee via platform bookings.
